Inception - News/Discussion/Speculation

[Madwelshboy]

an original sci-fi thriller wrote by Chris Nolan titled INCEPTION, which he be produced by his wife and THE DARK KNIGHT producer Emma Thomas. The story broke in tonight’s The Hollywood Reporter.

INCEPTION is described as “a contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind.”

I’m not quite sure what the hell that means but it sounds absolutely fantastic and I can’t tell you how delighted I am to see Nolan join the number of high profile directors tackling sci-fi right now, a genre in great need of a boost.

INCEPTION will shoot this Summer and all being well should hit theatres mid-2010. This will be one of Warner Bros. biggest movies of next year as they currently have no comic book movie set for release (everyone doubts a proposed GREEN LANTERN could be ready in time).

As expected, Nolan doesn’t wanna be seen as just the BATMAN guy and is once again helming a movie in between two Warner Bros. smash hits. It mirrors what he did with his smaller, more personal project THE PRESTIGE which began casting almost immediately after BATMAN BEGINS hit cinemas.

Though INCEPTION sure doesn’t sound like just a small flick.

Nolan brings Alfred to INCEPTION?

MTV News who snagged an interview with the director’s Batman Begins, The Prestige and The Dark Knight actor Michael Caine who hinted that he could soon team-up with Nolan for the fourth movie in a row, the top secret science fiction set within the “architecture of the mind”, known as Inception.

“I think there might be a part for me…I will know this week if I’m going to be in it,” Caine said.

Fantastic news. Caine has been the moral backbone of Nolan’s last few movies, the sympathetic character we can all side with. The man with the big heart, who just wants to do the right thing but is always well aware of the darkness that can plague man’s mind, and his actions.

For the most part in Nolan’s filmography, Caine has had the job of masking the movie’s exposition, usually in the form of an anecdote (the forest in Burma story from The Dark Knight is a prime example) but he has perfected the technique so well, you barely register the screenwriter’s tool of telling you what is going to happen in the film.

Have Warner Bros. entrusted Chris Nolan with $200 million for his sci-fi epic INCEPTION?

According to The Calgary Sun, Warner Bros. have entrusted $200 million, i.e. around 1/5th of the worldwide box office gross of the phenomenally successful 2008 superhero blockbuster The Dark Knight to it’s British director Christopher Nolan who is about to begin filming his original self scripted science fiction epic Inception in five different countries.

Now newspapers generally enjoy the luxury of exaggerating predicted budgetary costs but with Nolan and his actors being so secretive over just what Inception is about (reminiscent of what James Cameron has done with Avatar), you have to wonder just how large Nolan is thinking here. We had previously heard $150 million but maybe Nolan has asked for a little more, waiving a Batman mask in front of execs as a reminder that it’s money he won for them after all.

At this point all we still know is that Inception is about the “archectiture of the mind” and as we know that he’s a huge fan of Blade Runner, one wonders if that’s the scale he is aiming for here.

This movie, although we don't know much, has peaked my interest. I can't wait to find out more about it.

Clifton Collins Jr talks 'Trek', 'Thor', 'Inception'

You were also up for a part in Christopher Nolan's Inception?
"That didn't work out but I definitely made the final round. I bumped into Leo [DiCaprio] over that weekend and we had a really good talk about it. I'd love to work with Leo - at some point we will, I've known him a long time. Chris Nolan, he's a director I've had my eye on since Memento. He's such a gifted filmmaker, he can do the action films but there's such an artistry to it."

Was he very tight-lipped about it - I don't think anyone knows anything about Inception.
"I do know quite a bit about it because of Leo but the screenplay is hush-hush. Even for me taking a meeting I had very little to work on. As an actor, the challenge lies within figuring it out and putting the puzzle together to create something to bite on."
